I bought this experience for my Husband and myself and we both thoroughly enjoyed it ,Great staff, we were soon supplied with overalls and helmets and had a safety briefing before getting in to the tank, Lee explained how everything worked and then we were off round the course. We had a look at the various military vehicles in the museum and then had a coffee before we left. Will be back with family to see the tanks in action again very soon.

Went on tank driving experience today, the weather was fab (raining) but added to the fun of driving this tank. I had a really good morning, the staff are very friendly and helpful and i would highly recommended a visit... top morning.

Me and my 8 year old son visited for the 'Dads and Lads session' 1 x lap of the course with the instructor, 2 x driving myself, 3 x shots each at some static targets and a bit of reversing....just about right. Arrived on site, good friendly greeting and we watched in the viewing area until it was our turn. Luke our instructor was a great bloke, friendly, informative and witty. Overalls and helmet supplied and a safety briefing beforehand before....well getting on with it. Luke very knowledgeable and happy to chat to answer any questions, engaged well with my son and they both laughed at me when my son scored more hits on the firing range.The photos were £20 for the disk containing in our case 138 images which i thought was good value and there is none of the hard sell and up-selling that i have experienced at other events. You either wanted them or you didn't!There is an area that sells drinks, sweets etc. Costa it isn't but you are in a barn in the middle of nowhere and Tom manning this again very friendly...no complaintsSmall museum attached which both my son and i thought was well worth it....its full of tanks and boy stuff!!I am not sure what more you want from a tank event and its the staff that made this a very nice day out..hate giving 5 stars but little choice when they put such a big grin on both my and my sons faceThanks Lads

Good booking process - woman was friendly and efficient. Great anticipation in the car on the way down - three boys all very excited at the idea of learning to drive a tank. Location easy to find with satnav and postcode. Good museum with authentic military equipment, very well presented - Russian, German, British and American tanks, trucks and memorabilia. The tanks you drive are real ex army tanks - very impressive. Gave a vivid impression of what it might be like to serve in the army.Experience itself was a bit of a let down - don't think the instructor has much idea about how to teach, nor did he make much attempt to find out about who he was teaching. . Basically took the sergeant major approach of shouting at you. Fine for one of my boys (used to it at home?) - simply didn't work with the others, who ended up terrified: one of them made a mistake when loading - shouted at; another mistake, shout a bit louder, and so on. They do take very good photos of the experience, but you are charged extra for these. Hint: if you refuse to pay the (steep) charge for the photos, they immediately reduce it.Sad and disappointed car journey back. All agreed that they could think of considerably better ways to spend £300. Maybe a few female instructors to lighten the macho and aggressive atmosphere? Maybe a quick chat with the parent beforehand?

Went along with my teenage son for a tank paintballing session and had a great time. The location is a bit basic but has everything one needs for an activity out. Clothing provided was good and practical and the instructors were excellent and professional, paying good attention to the safety aspects. Tank driving, turret and gun handling was revealing - must be a tough job in the real battlefield. Really enjoyed the two hours which went by in no time it seemed. Pity we were not allowed to pot shot at the cows in the field who I noticed made themselves scarce when the paitballing started!

Bought this as a Christmas gift for my sons, both in their 30's and they loved it. Been on several driving experiences before but both said this was the best , great fun, a real "Boys" gift. I had fun just watching, spectators have to pay £5 but you can also go in the tank with them for £15 . The museum is also very good lots of exhibits.

Just come back fro the tank driving experience - wonderful day out. Instructor was excellent - very clear instructions and always put safety first without it being obtrusive.Driving the tank was wonderful - you start off with a trip around the track with the instructor driving so then he shows you how to drive it yourself and you set off with him in the turret giving any instruction you need. There are hills, hole, puddles (unless its dry presumably) and slopes around the tracks they use so you get all sorts of challenges.Basically it was AWESOME. I just want to tell people I DROVE A TANK!!Now - where can I buy one???

Got a voucher for my birthday from my husband who was really pleased it lived up to expectations. Very pleasant team on site, well run. Fantastic collection of army vehicles on display to look around whilst you wait. Drinks and snacks available. Toilets clean. There was a children's birthday party going on, which looked phenomenal with the amount they seemed to be doing! My drive was brilliant, one lap being driven, one lap driving, and a short course with the hatch closed - the only place you can do this! Definitely recommend to anybody looking for a thrill and all round great day out. A disc of photos taken by their guys is £20, which is pricey considering they are not edited, but we went for it anyway - some great shots. They do tank paintballing too...

Took my son for his birthday!Superb experience and well worth paying to go in the back of the tank with him driving.Staff fantastic, facilities really well done compared to what I was expecting.Only complaint would be that the initial price of a CD of photos was £20 but when no one wanted them, dropped to £10 each - Price them at a fair price first off :-)

the Armourgeddon tank paintball thought was quite a good gift, certainly different. Booking took awhile as my voucher was through Well Wicked experiences and the corespondents was very slow! Took just over 2 weeks from sending my availability and getting a place booked! Anyways on to the day it's self. The post code was spot on, and the small museum is reasonably well stocked. The day I had booked was for the tank paintball (just one of the several activities they have). Starts off with a little talk about e vehicle history and safety elements, followed by 1 lap each of the circuit driving the FV432, just about long enough to get to grips with the simple controls. You then take it in turns as gunner and loader on a static target range, each get to fire 3 paintballs. Quick pit stop for a cuppa whilst between the 3 crew discuss who will do what roll when faced off against another vehicle. Then off to 'the battle' which consisted of 2 vehicles driving parallel (about 4 tanks widths apart) along a track marked with 6 posts a few meters apart, at each post each vehicle stops and fires 2 paintballs, at the end the tank with the most hits out of 12 wins. My only reason for not giving the experience all the stars is because of the battle being over in a few minutes. Would have been nice to have been able to do say 3 runs so each member of the team could swap roles and have a bests of 3 type situation. This would certainly have made the experience exciting, also it would give people the same experience, as mine consisted of driving a lap fire 3 paintballs and then drive another lap. Over all I would still recommend a visit, and if so go either as a group of 3 or 6 as I think that would certainly add something to the day.As for the photos available at the end of the experience, vastly over priced! £20 for them to burn a disc for you!
